Brussels Press Conference Transcript Via @ThinkingOfRob

Twilight Stars Robert Pattinson
and Ashley Greene are in Brussels today to promote the latest Twilight
movie (Breaking Dawn Part I). At half past ten the actors were expected
at the conference table, not really early but they did take some time.
HLN.be was there for the entire press conference.

Robert entered the hall in his
casual style of checkered shirt T-shirt and jeans jacket. And no, he had
not shaved since Sunday! Ashley’s make-up was perfect, long hair
impeccably combed, and a simple blue dress with sky-high heels in black
shiny leather.

The duo was relaxed, Ashley has
more awake than Robert, who repeatedly had to admit that he clearly
wasn’t awake yet – though that did not stop him to joke around. But jet
lag and tiring day or not, the press and the fans wanted answers … and
sometimes to the oddest questions!

“Robert, Twilight is primarily
the story of Bella, so from a female perspective and because of that it
appeals to many girls and women. Did the making of these movies help you
to understand women?”

Robert Pattinson: “Bella is a
very special girl. Most fans of the movies came via the books and that
has a lot to do with Bella’s decisions, which you often think: ‘What is
she doing now? That’s not logical!” But people are still able to
recognize themselves in it… in the entire crazy decision. And with that I
actually say that I learned that most women are crazy (Laughs).
Actually I don’t think it helped me to understand women more (laughs
again). I often think to just give up: it’s no use! “(laughs
exuberantly)

“You become a father is in the movie. How was that for you?”

Robert: “It was very clumsy. For
women it’s natural, any woman that gives birth, take it as if she has
done a million times. Men are as clumsy, are afraid to let it drop or
break something.”

“It was often improvising,
filming with a baby. At one point there had to be all this fake blood on
the newborn baby, so we had to apply it to the baby and the child
starts to cry in my arms. So we do everything to calm the baby down a
bit and then I thought: “This really feels like my baby. But it was fun
to play, totally different from the other films. “

“The birth scene is Robert’s favorite scene.”

Robert: “I sat there, with Taylor
(Lautner, EDP) with the legs of a doll on my shoulders, eating our way
through the a womb of cream cheese with some on our face.”

Ashley (interrupts): “Cream cheese? Why cream cheese? “

Robert: “That was supposed to be the uterus. That’s how it looks.”

Ashley: “Is that so? That’s good to know!”

Why was that scene his favorite one?

Robert: “Because the sheer
horror, the complete madness to film it and certainly for a movie as the
Twilight series. Twilight has been an epic story, adventurous, but at
the same time very romantic. Until this scene that is. Taylor and I sat
there laughing some, it was so crazy… sometimes we wondered: What kind
of movie is this going to be? “

“How was it to keep that scene secret, or at least try to keep it secret?”

Robert: “It was really
ridiculous. While we were trying to film, there were people hiding in
the bushes, and they were flying over with helicopters, really crazy.”

“To be frank it’s just a girl in a
wedding dress and a man in a suit, it is all within what people expect!
From afar all weddings look the same. But people are curious and they
made it impossible for us to film all the time because they were trying
to break into the set. Kristen had to be carried in a bag, so the dress
certainly would not leak. ” (Which was only partially successful, ed)

“Was that the worst part of filming of Breaking Dawn too?”

Ashley: “No, that was the cold!”

Robert: “We also filmed all day
in front of a green screen, in a kind of hangar. There was dust
everywhere and combined with the lenses that we had to wear it was
hell.”

Ashley: “You mean the scenes with the fake snow?”

Robert: “Yes, exactly. For two
months, every day, everything was green, you felt like you were going
crazy. We were filming inside but that did not make it any better.”

“Have you learned anything from your characters, something that you’re going to take with you in real life?”

Robert: “That you should not have sex before marriage!” (Laughs) No, he (Edward, ed) does have it so thats not possible. “

“Are there any downsides that you do not want to take with you in Real Life?”

Robert: “Girls often say that
Edward’s “sooo perfect “, but he’s not. I do not like people who try to
exert control in a relationship, when there is an imbalance. This is
very wrong and very strange. Fortunately, he finally gives up and he
tries not to boss Bella around.”

“I can not say that I am similar
to Edward. From the beginning, the relationship between Edward and Bella
is complicated, there is always danger against which they must fight.
He thinks far too much, which doesn’t really make him lighthearted.
That’s not how I am at all! “

Which he proved with all the jokes he made during the press conference.

“What else is in store for you today? You don’t happen to have some time to eat a waffle with us?”

Robert: “I have absolutely no idea what my schedule is, I know just where I have lunch.”

Ashley: “We are simply told that we have to be somewhere, that’s it.”

Robert: “My manager was standing
at the window of my room this morning and pointed at just about the most
important monuments of Brussels. I have the impression that the city
consists mainly of churches (laughter). Sorry, I really say the
stupidest things without thinking I do not know what’s wrong with me
(laughs again). I would like to see Brussels ….

Ashley (jokingly): “Just buy a book!” (Both laugh)

Finally: “Will there be a sequel to Twilight, and if so, will you then resume the same parts?”

Ashley: “That’s for Stephenie Meyer (author of the series) to decide actually. For me: I’m done with Alice Cullen.

Robert: “Breaking Dawn completes
all the stories too nicely. A sequel would be a bit odd: a sequel to do
what? What could happen? Everything has come together. As for titles
there is another problem: how would we call it… “More Breaking Dawn”? I
mean… that doesn’t work now does it? “

Breaking Dawn Part 2 Countdown!

Eclipse Graduation Speech

“When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up. Our things were answers like astronaut, president, or in my case, princess… When we were ten, they asked us again. We answered - rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist… But now that we’ve grown up, they want a more serious answer. Well, how about this… Who the hell knows? This isn’t a time to make hard and fast decisions. This is the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love - a lot. Major in philosophy because there’s no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again because nothing is permanent. So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be… We won’t have to guess. We’ll know.”
